Mental Health and Wellbeing
At William Morris Primary School, the mental health and well-being of our children, staff and families is very important to us.
At William Morris, we follow the Blue Kite Trust’s Wellbeing Policy and our own Anti-bullying Policy.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines mental health as ‘a state of wellbeing in which the individual realises his or her abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community’.

5 Steps to Mental Wellbeing
The five ways to well-being are:
Connect - connect with people around you.
Be active - find an activity that you enjoy and make it a part of your life.
Keep Learning - learning new skills can give you a sense of achievement and a new confidence.
Give to others - even the smallest can count, whether it is a smile, a thank you or a kind word.
Be mindful - be more aware of the present moment, including your thoughts and feelings, your body and the world around you. Some people call this awareness 'mindfulness'. It can positively change the way you feel about life and how you approach challenges.
